an Age if he had the means to make him to dye every day What said he ingrateful Viper is it thus that thou acknowledgest so many benefits which thou hast never merited May be that thou wouldst punish me for having put my favours into his hands that would ravish my glory The effect of this outragious design was it the affair that kept thee at home or the pretence of that painted piety which hath so long deceived our simplicity Oh I will make thee to feel that a slave cannot do grosser faults nor have greater temerities then to have a mind to bee Master Drag hence this Monster They led him away without resistance chusing rather that his innocence suffer then to see Cyrene justly afflicted They striped this chast young man he permitted that they should take away his clothes but not his shame They offended him with sharp words he held his peace but more through discretion then want of courage They tore him with scourges of the whip the blood streamed down his body and some tears from his eyes but he kept all the constancy in a great soul They discovered his bones through the violence of his dolours he desired not to live he feared only that death would not finish the occasion of his merit At last they put this poor innocent in a condition which would have given more compassion then love to his Mistresse That face which possessed so many attractions was all disfigured his eyes which could convey innocent flames into hearts have not lights enough to see That body all made of Lillies and which appeared rather snow then white was no more but a spectacle of horrour for the wicked and a subject of pity for the good Would to God that all those effeminates whom the Cloth of Holland hurteth that those wantons who cannot sleep but upon the Velure that those infamous Ravens whom lust keeps always in breath could see our Joseph in this pitiful estate I would say unto them this young man whom you see is not tyed to this pillar for being convicted of any shameful crime but for not being able to love any thing but vertue Learn of him the resistance that we must bring to an evil action and how farre forth our fidelity must go Say not that it is impossible for you to suffer that which he endured I do not believe that they have persecuted you yet to the blood and though they should your delicacy would not excuse you since Joseph was not of the Village His birth owes nothing unto yours his education had nothing of the Countrey his blood was subtile his age invited him to the pleasures that destroy you The fairest temptations come to seek him he had no need to corrupt the chastity of a Maid both by money and by artifices He could only but desire and have consent and enjoy and yet O miracle of purity he remained firm in an age where all the world is shaken inflexible in a condition wherein the most part of men do bend and victorious in an occasion where no body fights without difficulty and overcomes not without dammage Strange thing my dear Auditours that Love should produce hatred Truly if we may judge of the consanguinity by the resemblance of the humours we should conclude that these two passions are enemies rather then allies it is for all that too true that his fair Mother puts sometimes this ugly daughter into nature I confesse that the birth thereof is monstrous and appeareth but seldome it appeareth notwithstanding and though that it be difficult to see the reason thereof it is easie to see the examples Cyrene loved Joseph tenderly and now she persecutes him I wonder not at that that which surpriseth me is that her hate should spring from her love The Trees thrust not forth always the boughs which are natural to them The Animals bear sometimes bastard-young and which are strange Without doubt this happeneth when the principle of these productions is mingled But how though can hate be born of love Love produceth but love when it concurs with the esteem of its object but if it joins it self to its contempt it conceives hatred When we believe they fly us because they despise us our passion revolts and in stead of being sweet it is embittered What marvel though the wife of Potiphar persecute Joseph In the first place she revengeth her love which she sees rejected Secondly she hides her impurity which is discovered Voluptuousnesse not able to content this passion which seeketh but pleasure choler inspires her with rage which cherisheth nothing but blood It is a dangerous Monster an heart that desireth to be loved and which one cannot love I apprehend but lamentable things for our slave since he refuses to love his Mistresse Whilest I am diverted from my subject I perceived not that they took Joseph away let us endevour to find him again and not lose one alone of his good examples But alas I see him in a prison where the light enters not but when the door is open I see him loaden with Irons I see him amongst Thieves and Robberss I see him in the horrours of a cruel Captivity He hath carried notwithstanding all his patience into this infamous retrait all the vertues would accompany him thither and though the fatal spectacles of death which he had before his eyes might shake a great courage his shewed in the serenity of his countenance that he had not learned to yield unto mean afflictions His cruel dolours could not make him to confesse by one sole sigh that he suffered nor that his patience was assaulted He spake not but through the praises which he gave unto God His discourses made nothing appear of an abated courage if he complained sometimes it was only to say O my God! who thought thou hadst the secrets to change punishments into pleasures and make sweetnesse to be found in the bitterest gall I begin to blame my little experience and to wish ill to the ignorances of my youth When the cruelty of my brothers made me a slave I thought my fortune ruined when that blinded man began to look upon me favourably with Potiphar I praised my good fortune I see now that that first accident was the first source of my joyes and that happy beginning the fatal cause of my ruine It is at this present that I know the advantages of misfortune and the dangers of prosperity My vertue appearing too fair hath been tempted by my brothers and cherish●d of my Mistresse Their hate hath conserved me her love hath almost destroyed me O desirable chains how I love you Sweet Providence how I adore you with all my heart I cherish you precious chains because you are that which settles my salvation because you are that which renders my vertues firm and immoveable If you load my body you adorn my soul The torment which you give me shall not make me renounce the glory which you gain me I

you owe to your good father and if you owe any thing unto her from whom you derive your birth know that I transferre all the right thereof unto him to the end to augment your respects and your services You have a great number of brothers let love tye you more unto them then nature and let the honour which you beare them be a mark of your good will Never give their actions an ill interpretation and if any one of yours displease them endevour to amend it Keep alwayes your spirit prepared for injuries which you may receive perhaps this advice of mine is not unseasonable Having so perfect a resemblance with your father I fear that you should resemble him also in this The affliction of the younger brothers is one of the inheritances of your house the son of Hagar could not endure the son of Sarah Esau persecuted your father in the belly of Rebecca take heed that the same happen not unto you but if God permit it think that your affliction shall be rather a testimony of his love then an effect of his hate Adieu my dear sonne and retain the last words of your poor mother There is nothing more true then this opinion which will that an innocent life ends alwayes with an happy death Rahel had scarce ended the last word of those which shee left to her son but she ceased to live with so much constancy that it was easie to judge that the fairest face of the world feared not that which is esteemed the most ugly But certainly if her courage shewed the contempt of her death the tears of her friends witnessed enough how precious her life was to them The poor Joseph who had received the soul of his mother upon his lips remained long time in a sound upon her body and as their embracements had straitly united them one would have believed that death not able neither to separate them nor chuse them had not offended the mother without hurting the son O how happy had he been if that death had dured more then a quarter of an hower since he must not live longer but to suffer nor suffer but to instruct himself from the experience of his meaner evils how he should prepare himself for the miseries of slavery Let us not engage us in the regrets of this desolate family the silence of great griefs makes them better comprehended then the Discourse that one endevours to make thereof the eloquence of a few sighs is stronger then that of many words Jacob had never so much trouble as to leave that which rested to him of his dear wife notwithstanding he must quit it and receive for consolation the confidence to be more aided by her intercession then by her presence And then being perfectly submitted to the will of Heaven he consented that it should enrich it self with the most precious of his losses and that it should encrease its felicities with his miseries These considerations and time having given some comfort to his grief he continued his way towards Hebron where he was no sooner arrived but the good Isaak ran to meet him if to goe so fast as one can may be said to run What pen is capable to describe the caresses which were sweet enough to leave no more bitternesse in the heart of Jacob and to blot out the remembrance of 20. years travels All the children of this holy Patriarch participated of this encounter but Joseph took the greatest part thereof there was not one of them that admired not the Majesty of that Venerable old man who had never been so if the Angel had permitted him to obey entirely and if God had not loved him better for offering then for victime Some days being passed away in feasts and rejoycings every one resumed the cares of good Husbandry Isaak was very glad to see that idlenesse never found his nephewes at leisure and that their diligence received not such soft temptations as those of sloth but his joy was perfect when he observed in Joseph that couragious vertue which had almost made him the Martyr of Abraham though Abraham should not be the Tyrant of Isaak and to say true it was a thing very considerable to see with what attention this little innocent studied the desires of his parents and how carefull he was to know their inclination Oftentimes his obedience prevented their command for fear they might have the trouble to speak and hee the blame to know their will without accomplishing it The difficulty rendred his obedience more ready and if he found excuses it was to cover the imperfection of another and not to flatter his negligence All those that saw him without envy saw him with love The father who had long time dissembled his contentment resolved to give him testimonies thereof and to make them appear with more lustre he caused a melley coat to be made him where the blue the carnation the white and the other colours were so perfectly mingled that every one could judge that art hath those beauties which surpass the natural Infancy pleaseth it self more with that which shineth then with that which profiteth Our young man held yet of that age so ware he not this coat but with the sallies of an innocent joy but too simple poor child you know not that to cover you with this coat was to charge you with the hatred of your brethren and that the love of your father should be the chief cause of your misfortunes This favour was so grievous to the eyes of the other children of Jacob that they could not long dissemble their displeasure Nothing was heard but plaints and murmures in their house some of them were bold enough to say that he loved this minion like a Legitimate and his eldest like Bastards it was not hard to fore-see the evil consequence which so many ill words promised Isaak blinde as he was saw it well and to bring some sweet remedy to this evil he was of opinion that Joseph should withdraw himself for some days from the presence of his brethren this counsel was thought good and the means to execute it easie It was supposed that the children of Bilhah and of Zilpah would suffer Josoph more willingly then those of Leah who knew too well the advantages of their birth Behold him then made a Shepherd as well as his brethren the innocence of this life gave him such perfect joyes that he would scarce change his sheep-hook for a Kings Scepter The sense of these delights made him believe that he had not lived until then and that to amuse him in his fathers house they had made him to see the pictures of that which he had before his eyes in the fields The Meadowes produced him not more flowers then pleasures it was from thence that he took occasion to admire the rare perfections of God and to say unto him in the excesses of his devotion Oh my God how fair art thou since that a little Tract of

Behold our trifler behold that fair dreamer well let us revenge us at this instant of all the injuries that he hath done us to teach him how so many sottish and ridiculous imaginations have profited him Fear not to stain your hands in his blood this action cannot be an homicide since it will be the just vengeance of so many crimes His words having gained his brothers he advanced towards Joseph he seised him by the hair and giving him kicks with his feet he prepared himself to give him death Our innocent Victime trembled under the knife and seeing that he could not secure his body he recommended his soul unto God His eyes were glued unto Heaven his hands joyned and his heart so full of resignation that it appeared on his visage and in his discourse My brothers said he I refuse not to die since you will have it so I pray you onely to pardon me that which renders me unworthy of your mercies It is true that if the sole intention can offend I am not culpable mine having always been innocent But that the sincerity of my intentions may not be considered I will be unworthy of your affection since my actions have displeased you It is better to confesse a crime then to blame you of injustice I condemn my self provided that that justifie you Strike my brother strike notwithstanding I conjure you if I am criminal that your pardon and my repentance may make me die innocent Oh how a man to whom cruelty and massacre are passed into a nature hath trouble to receive the sense of pity Simeon who had done his apprentiship in Sichem lifted up already his arm to plunge death into the bosome of Ioseph when Reuben stopping the blow cryed out I must not live to see Ioseph murthered so evil an action shall never have my consent I would that wherein he hath offended us his youth should excuse him and his tears perswade us Whilest he said this Ioseph had opportunity to dis-engage himself of Simeon and to embrace the knees of Iudah whose heart capable enough of pity grew tender at these words My brother have compassion of the poor Iacob These four or five words were worth him no lesse then his life forasmuch as Iudah was in consideration amongst his brothers whose wills were already divided upon the design of this murder Nature had not only given him a supple and agile body she had also chosen him an excellent soul and to the end that her benefits should be entire his tongue was capable to expresse neatly the thoughts of his spirit It was therewith that he serv'd himself to change wholly his brethren and to make them to be Wolves no longer behold his Discourse How now said he shall it be said that the Nephews of Abraham should be Parricides and that the indiscretion of a child should make us the murtherers of a brother A word ill spoken an extravagant dream should it give us a resolution so enraged and a will so criminal as to stain our hands in humane blood I will not excuse Joseph for fear to make your design appear unjust but suppose that he had an intention to procure us evil as truly as we have received it Tell me if it were an Arabian that had offended us could we do more then take away his life If a wild beast had torn us should we not be revenged in cutting his throat This here is not an Arabian his sweetnesse witnesseth that he hath other qualities It is not a savage beast nature hath given him those senses which have nothing of savage in them It is one of our brothers and though his actions have rendred him unworthy of that name our goodnesse should make him capable of our favours And then can we put him to death without shedding our proper blood and strike him without receiving his blowes If he be malicious are we obliged to resemble him Certainly I understand not that his example should serve us for law and though he had done us outrage the pardon of an injury is glorious when the revenge thereof is easie But he hath forgotten that which he was let us think of that which we ought to be He hath conspired against our life let us punish him in conserving his He hath taken our honour from us with most unjust calumnies let us leave him live to amend Lastly though we should take from him that which he can keep no longer but by our clemency the world not knowing the equity of this action will condemn the design thereof And who can give it a good sense having no obligation to presume of our innocence Jacob I am sure that it shall not be you yea I am assured that you will not approve an action wherein you are outraged Me thinks I see this poor old man oppressed under the resentment of this sorrowful news me thinks I hear his sighs and sobs with which he accuses his misery Hath he not griefs enough without we furnish him some in so lamentable a subject I conjure you let us have pity of his evils and if we are loth to save Iosephs life for the love of himself let us give it him to conserve that of our father Let no man say that a conceal'd crime is not much lesse then a known innocence and that he that sinneth not before men cannot be judged thereof Every one of us hath a thousand witnesses if he hath a conscience the stings which follow a crime do shew that nothing can be done without being discovered But suppose that the Fields and Forests have neither ears nor eyes to espy our actions Suppose that our consciences could not produce any testimony against us If he who is called the God of vengeance and who will punish every sin with his hands should demand accompt of this what could we answer It is he that pierceth the deeps it is he that sees the most secret thoughts there is not darkness enough to cover an action from him nor cunning to disguise the malice thereof unto him His eye discovers what is done above the Firmament observes all the actions of men upon the Earth and though the night vails them sometimes she never buries them Though we should go to offend him unto the Centre of the Earth we should find there his Justice And though this death were equitable in being your selves the Judges he will have so just reason to punish you as you will have none either to complain or to blame him Let us refer the right to revenge us into the hands of him who forbids it and let us not stain ours in the blood of our brother This clemency will deliver us from the reproaches of our own conscience Ioseph from death and our good father from a long train of miseries which would make him either to die soon or live long time in languishment Behold our little Innocent delivered from the hands of Simeon but see an accident which put his life into

all kind of courtesies is to pay benefits in a new fashion were you not content to carry away the sort of Egypt but you must steal the Cup of my Lord these words surprized so their spirits that no body could answer except Benjamin who replyed unto them with a modesty which marked enough his vertue What probability is there that we should be culpable of this crime after having brought back again from the furthermost parts of Canaan the money which we might have kept without suspition and without fear His Brothers taking the word cryed out with thousand Protestations of their innocence that they consented that he who had done this robbery should be condemned to death They took them at their words and presently made search for the offender visiting the sacks in order even till they had opened Benjamins sack where the Cup and silver Voider was found It were necessary to see a malefactor when his witnesses have convicted him so that he can speak no more for himself to comprehend the apprehension of Jacobs Children Benjamin seemed to be the most culpable and the Egyptians made shew to desire none but him yet his Brothers followed him rather to revile him with injuries then to serve him in this occasion One blamed his artifice another taking his out-rages farther off reproached him that he held this vice of his race and that he might well take away the Cup of their benefactor since his Mother had likewise stolen away the Gods of her Father and that the ambition of Joseph would have ravished the right of the legitimates From words they would have come to blowes if the Steward had not said unto them that the judgement of that affaire appertained not unto them Who can expresse their confusion when the presence of Ioseph constrained them to abase their fight never were they more ashamed and never seemed Ioseph more offended As soon as he saw them he said unto them with an accent full of sharpnesse is it thus then that you acknowledge the benefits wherewith you are obliged unto me knew you no honester means to requite me since it is not in your power to be good you should addresse your selves to some other then to him who better then any man of the world knows the secret thoughts of men have I not sufficiently made appear unto you that I am not ignorant in the art of divination Iudas taking the word replyed to him modestly It wonld be to adde impudence to our misfortune if we should pretend to excuse him notwithstanding though we be more unfortunate then culpable we consent all to our condemnation Your favours had too much obliged us to serve you let us die since we have done the contrary that shall be if it please your Highnesse the punishment of your slaves The Vice-Roy interrupting his discourse and faining to put himself in choler said unto him What have you observed any thing in me from whence you might judge me capable of injustice I know as well to make the difference of the Innocents as to punish the offenders Return all into your Countrie and let him who is convicted of this disorder remain my slave It is not reasonable to ordain a general punishment to a particular fault why should you undergoe the pain of a theft which you have not so much as known Iudas who apprehended death lesse then this sentence approaching Ioseph with much humility represented to him that his poor Father living not but with the soul of this young man he would die as soon as he should believe him dead That he was engaged to bring him back again unto Canaan at last he concluded with these ardent words It is by the tears of this feeble old man that I conjure you to permit the return of Benjamin But if your justice will make an example to the wicked I offer my self willingly to suffer the punishment of his sinne loving better to lead a miserable life in Irons then to see my Father languish the remainder of his dayes At the same time Benjamin cast himself at his feet and shewed himself more eloquent with his eys then with his mouth because he shed more tears then he uttered words But is not this dissimulation enough will he jest longer no Joseph could no more his eyes were full of tears and his heart with sighs This good Prince not longer able to command his joy made sign with his hand to his people to depart and then breaking out into sighs which love and grief hindered to be intelligible he said unto them the best that he could I am your Brother Joseph doth our Father live yet as soon as he returned to the liberty of speech his Brothers lost it for fear sent back into their spirit all that which their wit had invented to the ruine of their preserver Joseph perceived it and to dissipate their apprehension he used the sweetest and most gracious words that his goodness could pronounce Fear not my Brothers I am Joseph yes my Brothers I am that Joseph whom you sold to the Ismaelites Perhaps you are troubled or afraid to believe it you might have cause for it if prosperity could change me and your conduct accuse you I am your Brother and you are the Authours of my good fortune It is the providence of God that hath conducted me into Egypt for your comfort since you have been the cause of my glory my power shall not be the motive of your fear I have wherewith to requite you without you I had never been the Master of Egypt I rather look upon the design of Heaven then the intention of your malice fix your thoughts rather on my love then on your hate consider lesse my arm then my heart I am Joseph your Brother But lest there should arrive any inconvenience to our good Father return speedily to him and assure him that his Sonne lives and that he lives for the consolation and succour of all his As he had ended this amiable Brother cast himself on Benjamins neck mingling his tears with his which he did to all the others kissing them with much love and tenderness All this passed not so secretly but the Court and Pharaoh had knowledge thereof The King extremely joyful to have a new means to oblige his Minister commanded that those strangers should be brought to his Palace where they were treated magnificently Nothing was spared to render them fitly unto Jacob which they had order to carry to him to the end to receive the honours which his age and quality merited Who can conceive the thoughts of that good Patriark when his Children assured him that his much beloved Joseph lived and besides that he raigned in Egypt Surely the Scripture saith that it happened unto him as unto those who have fair dreams During their sleep they imagine that they are Kings that they possess Mountains of gold that all the delights of the world come to cherish them and in the morning they see

their Castles their Scepters and their Crowns vanish with the shadows of the night leaving them only the pleasure to have been sweetly deceived This comparison expresseth not ill the cogitations of this reverend old man who could not take the true History of his dear Sonne but for a fair dream and a pleasing illusion But who cannot but accuse Joseph of hardnesse to have so long time lived in delights without thinking on the misfortunes of his poor Father who condemns his Conduct blames the providence of God who would hide the greatnesse of this Patriark to make it shine forth with more glory May be he permitteth also that the little wisdom of men intervene in this affaire to the end to purifie the merit of the one and the other by a patience of three and twenty yeers Whilest we permit our spirit to sound the counsels of heaven Jacob arrived at Thebes which began to be the Town of the Heroes since it lodged so great a man scarce was he entered therein but he commanded Judas to go to the Court to advertise Joseph of his coming It was no sooner signified unto him but he departed and came to Goshen with all his Family The inability to express the joy which Jacob received from the life and fortune of his Sonne dispenses me to speak of their first interview Their extasie was so sweet that it ravisheth me my self and permits me not the liberty to admire it I cannot notwithstanding but wonder that this passion which hath oftentimes killed those whom grief could not overcome had not destroyed an old man who was more feeble and loved more then many others who have witnessed their extreme content by their sudden death Sometimes this good Father was seen hanging on the neck of Joseph now he embraced his Daughter in Law and then as if the caresses and kindnesses were all to the Children he kissed amorously Ephraim and Manasses The affection of the one and the other being in some fashion satisfied Ioseph thought it fit to visit Pharaoh before his Parents should present themselves at the Court. As he separated himself from them he counselled them if the King should offer them any aboad to chuse no other but Goshen Two Reasons made this advice to be approved the one because it was the richest Country of the Kingdom the second that they should be withdrawn from the Court where prosperities being alwayes envied theirs should not be without jealousie besides that the Egyptians had in horror that kinde of life of which Jacob and his Children made profession This Counsel approved the Vice-Roy returning to Memphis gave Jacob leysure to taste his good fortune to admire the sweet providence of God who is pleased to do miracles to comfort his faithful Servants Pharaoh having understood that the Father of his favorite was at Goshen commanded that they should haste his voyage being in his presence this Prince who was full of goodness gave him all the entertainment with which he supposed to be able to oblige him Above all the honour which he rendered him and the respect which he shewed him was remarkable never entered he into his Chamber but he went to receive him at the door and if he stayed there any time his seat and that of his Majesty had nothing that could separate them To speak truth this civility shewed much good inclination in the disposition of Pharaoh notwithstanding we must confes that he did not get all the honour which was due to this reverend old man The day that Jacob was to depart to retire himself unto Rameses a City in the Land of Goshen the King admiring the vigour of this body which had already suffered the winters of more then an age and indured the vexations of a thousand incommodities asked him what age he was to which this good Patriark answered that it was a hundred and thirty yeers since ●e saw the world but that his age was not almost but the infancy of his Ancestors upon this answer he took leave of the King with the acknowledgements which so many courtesies required Pharaoh who knew as perfectly the sanctity of Jacob as he respected his merit would not let him depart from him before he had received his benediction making more accompt of the good wishes of this wise old man then of all the favours that he had done him Joseph having conducted Jacob into Goshen gave his Master much admiration when he asked him what colour he would have his sheep because that his Father who had the care of them knew a secret to cloath them in his livery If this proposition surprized Pharaoh the experience which he had thereof should give no lesse astonishment It was then in the innocence of the Country and amongst the Lambs that Iacob lived seventeen yeers the most contented and happy life that could be desired but at last God would recompence so many travels the merit whereof he already possessed having made him understand his will he soon gave advertisement thereof unto Ioseph who hasted unto Goshen with all his Family It is not my design to touch all the circumstances of this death but to report only that which concerns the glory of Egypts preserver Two dayes before he rendered his soul he called his dear Sonne and after having recommended to him his other Children he declared to him that God would for the glory of his name that he should be the chief of two Tribes in the person of his Children and that to render them worthy of this favour he desired to blesse them Ioseph having made them to come and placed Manasses at the right hand of his Father and Ephraim at the left according to the order of their birth our good old man crossing his arms changed his right hand upon the youngest and layd his left hand upon the eldest Ioseph was astonished at this change untill that Iacob had made him understand a mystery of which the secret imports that all our benedictions should come unto us from the Crosse It would be very hard to express the resentment which all Egypt had of this death The King commanded that they should mourn for him threescore and ten dayes during which even the Ladies of the Court were seen to neglect their hair and instead of charms and fucus to cover their faces with dirt The Persians burn not the dead because they fear to do injury to that god which they adore to feed him with flesh For a contrary reason the Egyptians embalm theirs thinking it would be to prophane the bodies to cause them to be devoured of that Element which they take for a wild beast The body of Iacob was buried according to the custom of Egypt and then he was transported into Hebron by the express commandment which he left in dying ●hese funeral honours were rendered to Iacob but in consideration of his Sonne whom in having merit enough for all his gained them the love and reverence of a whole Nation I
